All you need is a filesystem large enough to hold the file and something to create said file. FreeBSD has had this ability since the begining. Years ago in a former life I routinely pushed 4G to 12G tape images around in FreeBSD, each as a single file ready to be pushed raw on to tape as needed. Essentially the same thing as CD-ROM images but was tape. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
